Case Keenum had zero turnovers entering Monday night’s tilt against the Chicago Bears. He finished the night with five turnovers — three interceptions and two fumbles lost.
He capped the quintet of turnovers with a baffling goal line dive from the 15-yard line on fourth down.
The Washington Redskins fell behind 28-0 early against the Bears. But, they clawed their way back, cutting the deficit to 28-15. They had the ball midway through the fourth quarter, looking for another score. However, the drive was held up and after a one-yard run by Adrian Peterson on third down, the Skins elected to go for a QB sneak on fourth down.
The Bears got penetration upfront, forcing Keenum to leap over the pile looking. His goal line senses must have kicked in, thinking he could reach out the ball for the first as if he was breaking the plain at the goal line.
Unfortunately, Keenum was met by linebacker Danny Trevathan, who jarred the ball loose. Safety Eddie Jackson recovered the loose ball for Chicago, putting the nail into the Redskins’ rally.
